Was going to write a poem – started, but haven’t finished. Oh well, maybe later on that.

Did a job for free on designing a small black and white ad for someone and now it turns out I had the deminsions wrong. Maybe if I correct them and send them back in soon I will be able to repremind the situation more smoothly.

Prepared and completed the downsampled (720×480, mpeg2) video files from Charles Morey’s violin recital for someone to use with other footage and compile a 4 minute promo video for the string program. That’s good to have that done.

Now need to prepare (cut, edit, burn…) the recital in HD SP for one DVD, with source footage starting at about 2hrs and 40mins. This computer is not built to handle HD smoothly, so I long for a faster machine. I am not sure exactly what approach we are going to take with this project, whether to use the entire recital or just cut and compile the best parts, making a 5, 10, or 20 minute video when finished. We will probably use the entire recital, but I’m not sure yet.

Hoping to design a website and logo for someone, which will greatly help in my finances for film.

FLY

Who knows, what path will I take?
Who will I be, what am I now?
Where will I go – why, when, for what?
And who will I meet, for God, or for naught?
Who will I be in twenty years,
Or even twenty minutes.

Who am I now,
And what am I aiming for?
What am I living for,
And why?

Find out,
Endeavor,
Don’t just try,
Don’t fall and cry,
Get up, spread those wings,
And upon the high winds
Fly.

The video on that page is inspiring, especially the words of the filmmakers:

I make media that matters

If I can get my video editing problems figured out into a consistent, reliable, and proficient workflow, I would love to participate in this challenge.

I am now participating in the Morevna Project and am working on learning how to draw one of the main characters, Ivan, as well as drawing a soldier design suggestion.

As the days pass by and progress is made in various areas, one may wonder what happened to Minosa Films – like, where are the films?!

Well, I suppose everything has a journey. And each journey has it’s pilgrims, and once in a while, you run across a hero. Well, I am a pilgrim. And I need to do my part, and my part is not only the technical side of making sure we have a camcorder that will work, but scripts to make movies from. So, I need to write scripts. We have one script for a film titled “Is This Love?”, and I plan to make revisions upon it (basically add to/and or rewrite it.) I think it would be wise to have more than one script on hand, so, I need to write! 😉

Recently I found out about a neat project called Morevna Project. Check it out here: morevnaproject.org. I am considering contributing to it. From the website:

The main goal of Morevna Project is creation of full-lengthened anime movie, utilizing Open Source software only.

Other goals:

Promotion of Open Source software and its ideology.

Testing and improving existing Open Source products by giving appropriated feedback to developers and community.

Validate Open Source tools as suitable for creation of professional good-looking animation.

Provide content for other artists to learn from or to re-use, including documentation and tutorials
